The Worst Oil Spills In History (Summed Up In 1 Photo)

Sometimes its hard to picture the difference between gallons, barrels, and tons.

This image is a good visualization of how much oil was spilled during the major spills here on earth.

that size is rather hard to view, click HERE for the full-size version.

While the horizon is a tragedy, I think the we and the earth as a whole will survive.

Earths taken a lot worse and bounced back, so to those people whom seem to think this spill means the death of all sea creatures, you can just breathe
deep now (or be even more terrified at the scale of early spills ha)

And I don't go looking for "facts" to help ease my mind because the truth is, we will NEVER get the facts about this spill or any spill as long as
we allow the perps to own the crime scene... end of story

Eh, My math was off, but it isn't that one is correct or incorrect it's about consistency in labels. One of the few things I learned in Statistics
was that the easiest way to deceive is to confound the labeling process.

You is a funny guy.
I am not worried about Mother surviving, as oil comes from her it will not hurt her.
Her children however, we may not survive, and some of her aquatic creatures have already died.
Now while trying to make this gusher seem like "Hey it's cool no probs here".
You forget the basic idea,
It does not matter if he is kissing you while it is happening, IT IS STILL RAPE.
But really, I wonder if there really was an oil gusher, there seems to be no evidence of it.
Yeah yeah yeah dispersants and such, what about on the beaches?
That much oil that close would be quite thick and go for days.

to whomever made this, this is HIGHLY inaccurate, as we actually have, absolutely, NO CLUE as to the amounts of the Gulf oil spill. According to the
NATGEO report, which was right after there was no oil flowing from the cap, they said the most conservative measurement was in the several hundred
million gallon rage. Going by this is says less than 2X when in reality its upwards of around 20X. 37*200= 740,000. So its at least that or more....
